Suitable for use in the IB Diploma Spanish B programme, this series covers 15 units which train students in working with various Text Types. Lectura y Escritura Avanzadas Libro del professor supports teachers in developing their students reading and writing skills whilst practising the required language functions for the IB Spanish B examination. This book includes full teachers' notes and answers as well as detailed lesson plans, to accompany the student's book, which equips the students with the ability to structure arguments confidently and coherently. In each unit students analyse different text types which enables them to recognise, practise and produce a range of structures and lexis, transforming writing into an interactive and lively whole class/group activity.

Each of the 15 units in this full-colour book provides students with a model text and gives them exercises that help them to analyse the structure and language of the text. They then work up to writing a similar type of text in a similar register of language. The approach trains students to reflect on the communicative purpose of each text and to use the language appropriate to the type of text and its audience. It teaches them to structure arguments in a clear, coherent and convincing way. The approach is lively and collaborative, encouraging students to work in pairs and small groups.
